HI SSCHMIDT1127. Nice start on your article draft. There are, however, a few things you need to fix before you merge your additions into the existing SLC7A11 article. For starters, I noticed that you have hard-coded your numbered references. This won't work in the long term - reference systems like that are almost impossible to maintain as different people contribute to the article. Please convert them to inline references - the Cite tool (on the toolbar in Visual Editor) makes well-formatted references. In addition, the layout of your article does not conform to the layout requirements for Wikipedia articles. I strongly recommend you take a look at the "Editing Wikipedia articles on genes and proteins" handout that I have linked to at right. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:20, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
